#257311 - 31/05/2005 00:42 root partition space
toolman member Registered: 10/10/2001 Posts: 105 Loc: Wellington NZ	Hey guys; 2 Questions: 1) is the root partition the flash memory (ie not on hd[a\|b]) ? 2) If this was full, could it be the cause of sync issues etc? I have started having weird sync issues after trying out jemplode, so I assumed it was something to do with that, but I just realised that I installed all of my extrnsions in the /usr folder to avoid the locking issues etc. Umm 2.00 final, hijack 417 not that it should matter _________________________ ToolPeg: 010101886 Mk2a 120Gb GrillPeg: 010101956 Mk2a 80gb

I don't immediately see why a full root partition would cause fsck problems, especially since it should be mounted read-only, but full root partitions have caused weirder problems before. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Quote: If this was full, could it be the cause of sync issues etc? Unlikely. As Bitt says, it's mounted read-only during synchronisation. Quote: I installed all of my extrnsions in the /usr folder IIRC, you can use /dev/hda2, which is 32M, for extra stuff. Mount it under /opt, or something. Alternatively, if you've got two disks, you can use /dev/hd[b\|c]5 (the root partition on the second disk). Also, if you're tight for space, you can keep your shell utils and scripts in /drive0, and symlink them into the filesystem. It's only the things that run alongside the player (and hence might interfere with synchronisation) that shouldn't be on the music partitions. _________________________ -- roger
